Braids of Turkic people

Hair is a sacred thing in Turkic culture like many other shamanic cultures. Hence why women braid their hair in sacred numbers such as 40, 41, 7 etc. Men having long hair is also very normal and they also braid their hair. It's known that when Turkmens first came to Anatolia their hairstyle was seen rather strange to Anatolia's peoples. One of the primary sources for men's hairstyles is that gravestones that can be found in many Turkic countries.

When Camus said "Pour que tous soit consommé, pour que je me sente moins seul, il me restait à souhaiter qu'il y ait beaucoup de spectateurs le jour de mon exécution et qu'ils m'accueillent avec des cris de haine" and Le Fanu said "There is no word as indifference in my apathetic nature" and Pamuk said "Uzun bir süre kimseyle konuşmadım; içime döndüm. Dünya ile arama uzaklık koydum. Dünya güzeldi, içim de güzel olsun istedim. İçimde bir suçluluk, hatta kötülük yokmuş gibi yaparsam, yavaş yavaş kötülüğü unuturdum."

Translations:

"For everything to be consummated, for me to feel less alone, I had only to wish that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they greet me with cries of hate."— Albert Camus

"For a long time, I would have nothing to do with anyone. I withdrew, distancing myself from the world. The world was beautiful, and I wanted my inner world to be beautiful, too. If I ignored the guilt, the darkness inside me, I thought I would eventually forget it was there."— Orhan Pamuk

"You must come with me, loving me, to death; or else hate me and still come with me, and hating me through death and after. There is no word as indifference in my apathetic nature."

Municipal Theatre of São Paulo, Brazil

Honestly one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. This place is only open a few times a year and being able to go inside was honestly a privilege!

The Beekeeper of Aleppo— My thoughts

I read TBoA last year because I liked the concept of it. Honestly I was very disappointed while I was reading the book. It is filled with stereotypes and there are several parts in the book where Nuri talks about women's breast and how a 12 year old girl leaning against a tree is somehow sexual. I will admit, that part is when the book was officially dead to me.

I feel like the book had so much potential given the topic it's about but I was left feeling disappointed and wishing we were reading it from Afra's (Nuri's wife) perspective. I was really excited about this book the first time I heard about it as many people I know referred to it as "a future classic". Honestly, I can see why they thought that but it would simply end up being one of those classics you read for school that end up not being enjoyable at all.

The topics this book talks about are important and I just don't think they were handled with the care they should've gotten. Over all the book is a 1.75/5 at MOST (in my opinion).

Christy Lefteri is a Cypriot refugee and I had heard about her before reading TBoA so I thought that her writing on this topic would be great however I'd honestly recommend you to read books that were written by Syrian refugees instead of this. If Lefteri ever writes (or has written) a book about her experience as a refugee, I'd definitely read it, however I really don't expect much from her after TBoA. The writing style of the book, the way she wrote her characters and really the way she represented muslim and Arab people in general just rubbed me the wrong way.
